Modern missions depend on data. Whether it’s responding to a crisis, tracking financial activity, or powering day-to-day operational awareness, government teams need commercial data they can trust, and they need it fast.
But the acquisition process for that data hasn’t kept up. Traditional workflows rely on manual delivery, long contracting cycles, and one-off engineering that slow missions down when speed matters most.
Now, speed is a capability in its own right, and information needs to move faster than traditional procurement processes can keep up. Grist Mill Exchange was built to solve this problem. By shrinking acquisition timelines for commercial data from months to minutes, GME created a simple process for finding, evaluating, and licensing data across hundreds of vetted providers.
And now, we’re taking it even further.
We’re introducing two major updates designed to give government customers faster, more flexible, and more secure access to the commercial data they rely on.
Our new APIs allow government teams to pull commercial data on demand in real time. That means:
This isn’t a redesign. It’s a rethinking of how mission data should move.
AI-generated media and synthetic content are becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect. That introduces new risks, especially for teams relying on commercial data to support real-time decisions.
Through our partnership with Reality Defender, customers can now elect to add an authenticity verification safeguard to incoming content.
Government teams need speed. They need interoperability. And they need trusted information in real time.
GME’s real-time APIs are designed for exactly that: to eliminate slow acquisition steps, reduce engineering burden, and give teams a consistent, low-latency pipeline into the data they rely on. And when authenticity assurance matters, agencies have the option to layer in verification through Reality Defender.
These updates reflect a broader shift happening across government toward faster acquisition, tighter integration, and more trust in the data that drives mission decisions.
From deterrence to defense to humanitarian response, data is the fuel that powers every modern mission. But getting that data into the hands of operators used to mean months of contracting, fragmented workflows, and unnecessary friction.
GME built the solution: a single, secure process for discovering, evaluating, and licensing commercial data across government. Today, that means connecting agencies with:
With the launch of real-time APIs, and the ability to add authenticity safeguards when needed, GME is moving government from faster acquisition to near-instant, mission-ready access.
